My experience was to let players choose the factions they desired although, as noted by ThirdWizard, it helps if they all talk about it first to ensure no outright conflicts.We had one experienced player decide to take an Anarchist in a primarily-Lawful group, which created some extra spice. He was undercover the whole time, masquerading as a Guvnor (Fraternity of Order). Every session, he'd look for subtle ways to undermine the goals of the other players. His methods had to be extremely subtle - at least two of the other players were also very experienced and were hip to all the usual tricks (note-passing to the DM, inexplicable character absences, etc). He usually arranged all his tricks and sabotages with me prior to the session via email, and then left it to me to make the appropriate rolls on his behalf behind the screen.Funnily enough, they never found him out. He fell prey to a fiend after 20 or so sessions, and the player rolled up a more 'normal' replacement.</blockquote>
